Written and edited by some of the top names in the object-oriented programming world, this is the first complete study of building frameworks. Using examples drawn from successful implementations worldwide, it walks you through all the steps of a framework development project. Providing guidance on all key technical and business issues surrounding framework construction, it covers:
* Techniques for developing, integrating, and adapting frameworks
* Leveraging existing design and code
* Selecting and utilizing frameworks
* Tracking, controlling, and documenting framework development
* Maintaining, measuring, and controlling framework quality
